My Daughters Father

Chapter 8

Ariana's pov
I'm laying down next to a sleeping Aviana and get up a couple seconds later to go talk to my mom about what happened between Ricky and I. I gently shut the door so that both my babies wouldn't wake up.

I make my way downstairs to see my mom sitting at the dining room table, just like I left her but this time she had a glass of wine in her hands looking down at the table.

I sit in front of her and wait till she speaks.

She looks at me with sorry eyes.

"Baby doll what's going on"? She asks taking my hands in her soft tan ones.

I take a deep breath and then begin to sob right in front of her, just letting stress and everything else take over me.

She gets up out of her seat and rushes towards me embracing my body in a hug.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry but I can't help you until you tell me what wrong" she coos in my ear.

I calm down and begin to tell her everything that happened at Aviana's school, Ricky finding out about Aviana not being his, Ricky and I going our separate ways, and the hurtful things Aviana had said to me only hours previously.

She hugs me tighter silence just taking over us.

"I'm such a terrible mother, I mean Im obviously not a fit mom for my daughter, I had her at 15, she thinks she's a mistake which is partially true but I don't regret her and I lied to her about who her father is" I cry out.

My mom grabs my hands again and sighs.

"Ariana, you are not a bad mother. Hell you go through everything just to make sure your kids are healthy and happy. You sacrifice everything for them and if that's a bad mother, then I guess that makes me a bad mother" she scowls at me.

I am about to say something when my phone starts ringing. I pick it up not recognizing the caller ID.

"Hello"? I ask my voice sounding unsure and confused.

"Hello, is this Mrs. Ariana Alvarez"? the person on the other line asks.

I am really confused now.

"Umm yes this is she, can you please tell me who I'm speaking with"? I ask.

The person on the other line sighs.

"Ummm yes, this is Officer Wilson and I'm calling from the L.A PD office because your husband Richard Alvarez has been arrested for assault on another man" he states.

I sit there frozen at his words, not being able to believe that Ricky would do such a thing. After a minute or 2 later I get interrupted from my thoughts when the Officer starts trying to get me to talk in the phone.

"Mrs. Alvarez your husband insists that you come down here to bail him out, if that's okay with you"? He asks.

I gulp and speak into the phone once again.

"Ummm yes sir I'll be there in about 20 minutes"

I hang up and look up at my mother who was no longer at the table.

"Mommy" I call out walking around the downstairs area of the big home.

She comes into my view making me sigh in relief but this time with a whimpering Wilder making grabby hands towards me.

"Oh my sweet baby boy" I coo embracing him in my arms, causing him to bury his head in my neck.

I turn to my mom and begin to tell her about Ricky and how I have to go retrieve him at the jail.
